ALL-NEW FORD FIESTA DELIVERS 40 MPG; TOPS CLASS IN FUEL ECONOMY<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Ford Fiesta with the six-speed PowerShift automatic transmission has been EPA certified for 40 mpg highway and 29 mpg city delivering class-leading fuel economy
\n– Fiesta features several fuel-saving technologies including its PowerShift automatic transmission, Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing, Electric Power Assist Steering, aggressive deceleration fuel shutoff and enhanced aerodynamics
\n– Fiesta joins Fusion Hybrid \u2013 America\u2019s most fuel efficient midsize sedan \u2013 and other class leaders like Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner Hybrids, Ford Ranger, Mustang V-6 and Super Duty offering best-in-class fuel economy<\/p>\n

DEARBORN, Mich., May 17, 2010 \u2013 Ford\u2019s all-new 2011 Fiesta \u2013 an Internet star even before it goes on sale this summer \u2013 will now stand out on the highway with an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified 40 mpg rating, making it the most fuel efficient car in its class.<\/p>\n

The Ford Fiesta 40 mpg, achieved with Ford\u2019s new six-speed PowerShift automatic transmission, is 5 mpg better than the Honda Fit and 4 mpg better than the Toyota Yaris.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new Fiesta is yet another car in Ford\u2019s lineup that delivers class-leading fuel economy,\u201d said Barb Samardzich, vice president, Global Powertrain Engineering. \u201cFrom Super Duty to Fusion Hybrid and the new Mustang V-6, Ford is committed to fuel economy leadership with every new vehicle it introduces in all segments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fiesta\u2019s class-leading fuel efficiency follows Fusion Hybrid \u2013 America\u2019s most fuel efficient midsize sedan \u2013 and other fuel economy champs such as the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mercury Mariner Hybrid and Ford Ranger pickup. For 2011, the streak continues with the Mustang V-6, Ford Super Duty and now the responsive, sporty and economical Fiesta. Moving forward, Ford is committed to being a fuel economy leader in each segment in which it competes.<\/p>\n

The Fiesta achieves its best-in-segment fuel figures thanks to a host of fuel-saving technologies not normally seen at this price level. To increase fuel economy, Fiesta features a new 1.6-liter Duratec\u00ae engine with Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) that delivers 120 horsepower, an aggressive deceleration fuel shutoff and an engine accessory drive system that improves efficiency by reducing the energy it takes to power the air conditioner and alternator.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Fiesta also features the PowerShift transmission, a six-speed automatic that combines the fuel benefits of a manual with the convenience of an automatic. Combine that with electric power-assisted steering, another fuel saver and some aerodynamic optimizations and you have a car that can go a long way on a single tank of fuel.<\/p>\n

The 2011 Fiesta with standard five-speed manual transmission is EPA rated at 28 mpg city and 37 mpg highway.<\/p>\n

These efficiency innovations combine with the stylish and aerodynamically clean Fiesta body design to efficiently slip through the wind with both fuel savings and reduced wind noise.<\/p>\n

Fiesta is built for North American markets at Ford\u2019s manufacturing facility in Cuautitlan, Mexico. The vehicle goes on sale in four-door sedan and five-door hatchback body styles \u2013 with the sedan starting at $13,995, including destination charges \u2013 at Ford dealerships this summer.<\/p>\n
